“The dismissal of my former colleague had nothing to do with the attempt to hire my friend. Netflix and the producers did a complete casting job. I didn’t recommend my friend for the job. They ended up hiring him because he was the best person for the job. Am I happy because he got it? Yes, I am. He’s going to be amazing on the show. But I didn’t get rid of one person to hire him.”
According to France, the allegation began on a gossip blog. “The point is, that’s not how it all happened,” Tan clarified.
